It’s like an “Easy Button”
Aug 9th, 2008 by Cathy Nelson
I saw this in my reader this morning thanks to PowerLibrarian (a library blog). Library folks are always ever vigilant looking for easy, ethical, and handy tools for images. This site is fantastic in that we can use it to promote ethical use of images. The site will allow you to embed the picture ALONG with an attribution. This is great for blogs and wikis, but I’m not sure its great for term papers, photostories, VoiceThreads, or Powerpoints–things my teachers like to assign. But at least it will keep in the mind that attribution is something needed. This goes int the “love it” column! Also great for any future 2.0 smackdowns like we had at EdubloggerCon 2008 from NECC.
Where is it? Here.
And here too on my bookmarks toolbar for easy access.

I’m loving the Flickr CC search toy. Thanks for blogging about it and for Tweeting about it as well.
You’re always such a great source for cool tools and interesting ed tech topics.

I’m loving it too, but already am making adjustments. I decided to use it for the attribution info, but then for my latest post, I moved the attribution info down to the bottom. I wanted to be able to move my pix to the right for some, but the text attribution would not go with it. So I manually moved it–down to the bottom. Guess if I’d take the time to relearn a little code that would not be necessary. But Web editors that are wysiwyg have made me very code lazy. Sigh. I still like the included attribution though.
Thanks, Cathy! I had been using http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/ which only calls up creative commons flickr images, so this gives me a second way to search.
